Thanks to your support we were able to help 12 pets with medical issues in March! We were asked to help Joey (biopsy), Shakespeare (leg amputation), and Topper (life saving kidney stone removal surgery) of the Pflugerville Shelter. Our Caylee (spay, eye removal, stabilization), Daisy and Rosalee (heartworm treatment), and Truffless, Kizzee, George, Georgia, Greg, and Gino (vaccines) all received necessary treatments too!                     All because of generous supporters that help us help the pets of Pflugerville. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Read more about their journey in our Facebook page.Read More →

Caylee is the pet of the week at PoundWishes!! Help us reach our $2500 goal to cover her medical expenses. Help us reach our goal here. Caylee was found off 685 and picked up by a Good Samaritan. A 21 pound Pointer whose eyes were in a very bad state, it was uncertain whether weeks of starvation were the sole cause of Caylee’s ill health, or if there were any other medical factors. Labwork soon confirmed that Caylee is diabetic. Caylee’s care was originally estimated to cost $500, however her ongoing care has already surpassed $1000, and the doctor has informed us that her eyesRead More →

Ruger spent yesterday afternoon hanging at Hanovers Draught Haus playing with his stuffie and kids, watching ‪#‎volleyball‬, and looking for his family. He was mild mannered and just the goofball that he is. Upon leaving, he did belly up to the bar next to a customer who fell in love with him but could not adopt him. His friend was quoted as “What a great gentle dog! He should find his home soon. Good luck good boy!”. Can you share and help Ruger find his family or even a foster family?

Watch Shelby on the news (KXAN) Pflugerville Animal Shelter long-stay, Shelby, recently carried a really big rock out of the creek, which turned out to be a bison bone! Thanks to an invaluable shelter volunteer, who is also a specialist at Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL), the following analysis of Shelby’s fossil find can be shared: This is a photo of Shelby’s bone (on the right) compared to the same element from a species of bison excavated at the Bonfire Shelter archeological site (near Langtry, TX).

Who let the dogs out…who who who who?!  And who let them out ALL day and ALL night? We have seen it many times – dogs are left outside due to one reason or another. Busy schedules, dog likes to snack on a couch (or two!), dog might have house-training issues, dog prefers to be outside, or their human just doesn’t feel a dog should be an indoor family member. As an organization, we believe our four legged friends truly enjoy spending time inside with their beloved humans. Unfortunately, not all people believe dogs should be indoors, nor do laws and city ordinances object toRead More →
